Girls basketball: North Forest beats Lee 76-0 to open district play

But on Wednesday, North Forest and Lee met to open district play. When it was over, North Forest walked off the floor with a 76-0 win.

Yes – North Forest 76, Lee 0.

This isn’t the first lopsided game the area has seen. Or Texas for that matter.

Three years ago, the girls basketball team at Covenant School of Dallas beat Dallas Academy 100-0. When news of the result spread, the negative backlash led to Covenant posting an apology on its website and ultimately firing the head coach.

In 2010, the Yates boys put themselves in the center of controversy after word spread of a 170-35 win over Lee. Yates set the single-game state scoring record, but the game was marred by a first that broke out in the second half.

Yates, using an aggressive full-court defense from start to finish that led to Class 4A in 2008 and 2009, reached the region quarterfinals that season.

Lopsided scores normally gets the most attention during football and basketball seasons. But the reality is blowouts happen all the time.

While some frown at what Yates does on the basketball court, the Lions baseball team lost a game last season by the score of 36-0.
